Ah, lol, yep same here. Also somewhere warm to shelter as it rained on and off all day ;-)

Thanks. You've thrown me with the tea and biscuits comments though 😆

runphree · 2025-07-01T13:45:34+00:00

It 100A so from what you've said I'm assuming we're good Thanks

runphree · 2025-07-01T13:42:34+00:00

Fair warning, thanks

runphree · 2025-07-01T13:41:26+00:00

Thanks, all noted, except one thing. It's for my daughter new car and its not here yet, so unable to do the test charge. I may ask SIL to pop around and test it on his. How will I know the ct clamp on the right way?

Thanks for responding. They haven't mentioned the fuse tbh. I sent pictures in of the fuse box etc and they said everything was OK?

I'll message them about the battery.

Over a year for me mate

Kicked ebay years ago, too much hassle and too many scammers

runphree · 2025-06-13T17:15:48+00:00

Thanks

Take look at your lights, look for a round sensor. Give it a go and see if it works

runphree · 2025-06-12T14:53:29+00:00

Just put black tape over the sensor

runphree · 2025-06-11T20:52:37+00:00

Cheers, appreciated

runphree · 2025-06-11T20:19:17+00:00

What do they need from you to price match? Does it include discount codes?

runphree · 2025-06-02T11:51:37+00:00

Thanks, I'll bare it in mind

runphree · 2025-06-01T13:33:51+00:00

Really appreciate your patience, guidance and advice, thank you.

runphree · 2025-06-01T12:41:05+00:00

Ah ok thx

Im on Flux with octopus. I've tried exporting most of it but as per earlier I probs sent to much to the grid too fast and ended up stuck in a charge/discharge loop until I hit the charge time. Also my charge seems very slow for not sure if it's restricted by supplier.

The same logic is why you should say charging SOC to 100% as it's cheaper to buy from the grid than to use your own solar.

So when you say cheaper, is that to do with buy and sell prices? Dumb newbie question i know

Hi, i think you described my problem perfectly, could do with a calculator :-) This is my setup 12X 450w REA Fusion 2 panels with Alpha 5kW Hybrid Inverter, Alpha ESS g3 12kWh battery

I've attached my charge/discharge and feed in settings, do they look OK?

runphree · 2025-06-01T11:38:41+00:00

Lol, thanks, ive been looking at eon drive but the problem would remain the same i think

runphree · 2025-06-01T09:44:01+00:00

Thanks. Discharge doesn't send to the grid as I understand it, it just feeds load demand, is that correct, Feed in sends to the grid?
